The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova is a compact automobile manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years.

 

Quite honestly, the Chevrolet Nova did as much for Chevrolet as any compact car has ever done for its' maker.

 

 

 

The Chevy II was one of the fastest new-car development programs in GM history - just 18 months after the designers got the green light, the first production Chevy II rolled off the Willow Run, Michigan, assembly line in August 1961, in time for its September 29 introduction. This was due to one simple fact- the Falcon was dominating the Corvair in sales. Unlike the Corvair, the 1962 Chevy II was deliberately never intended to be revolutionary in concept or execution; its mission was to give Chevy buyers a simple, back-to-the-basics compact car. When he announced the Chevy II to the press, Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole described the car as offering "maximum functionalism with thrift."

 

Chevrolet designer Clare MacKichan recalled about creating the Chevy II: "There was no time for experimentation or doodling around with new ideas from either the engineers or from us in design; And it had to be a basic-type car. We worked night and day on that car, and it didn't take very long to run it through our shop because we had a deadline."

 

Ultimately the Nova badge would replace Chevy II - but that wouldn't happen until 1969.

 

The Nova Super Sport was transformed from a trim option to a performance package for 1968. It was one of the smallest muscle cars ever fielded by Detroit. Novas sported the SS badge until 1972.

 

The third generation models, beginning in 1968, were fully redesigned with an extensive restyle on a longer 111-inch wheelbase that gave the Chevy compact a chassis that was just one inch shorter than that of the midsize Chevelle coupe. And here is where the story of the true popularity of the Nova began.

 

Very early on, gear heads, car guys, and drag racers alike realized the third generation Nova was the perfect performance car. The extended wheel base, light weight, low cost, and the ability to create an extremely favorable power to weight ratio placed the Nova high on the demand list. Soon, modified Novas were appearing all over the streets and drag strips across the country.

 

To this day, the Novas are a major player in the street and strip scene.

Nice, southern body has been refinished in Orbit Orange Metallic base coat/clear coat. Not a concourse show quality job, but a standard body shop finish. Never been wet sanded or buffed. A wet sand and buff would elevate the paint quality another notch. Small repairs on door bottom, but clean metal was welded in. Small chip at driver fender/door gap from aligning body panels. A few minor bubbles.

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
